Separately, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said a staff member was killed on Saturday in a shooting in Yemen.

Yemeni security officials also said Hanna Lahoud, a Lebanese national, was killed in the southwestern province of Taiz when gunmen shot at a vehicle carrying ICRC staff members, according to The Associated Press news agency.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media, the agency added.

The Yemen war has claimed the lives of more than 10,000 people, displaced more than two million and driven the country to the verge of famine, according to the United Nations.
